VISA expiration question for China

What is the required time limit on a VISA from USA to China PRC? My VISA is approved until the end of 2010. I have a trip scheduled from 23 September to 16 October 2010. Is this covered by my current VISA?

Hmm, Wallace, it is a little confusing to answer your question because I am not sure of what you meant?

Have you got a China Visa which expires in the end of 2010, or you do not have the China visa now, and the Visa will only be given until the end of 2010 and your tour schedule is for Sep. and Oct.?

If you do have have the China Visa on hand, you can not enter China for a tour, but you can try to arrange the Visa in some arrvial city like Hong Kong in China, which means if the tour date is urgent and you need to come to China first without Visa, you can think about arrive in Hong Kong then follow up to apply the Visa there.
